The 5-mm disposable Quik-Stitch Endoscopic Suturing System features a combination applicator and self-righting needle driver ergonomically designed for ease of surgeon use. Utilizing the same proven and innovative pre-tied suture spool reloads as the reusable Quik-Stitch, this new device allows the surgeon to rapidly achieve laparoscopic interrupted suturing in a wide variety of advanced and basic procedures. It is ideal for gastric bypass as well as gastric banding. By rapidly and securely over suturing circular and linear staple lines during gastric bypass surgery, Quik-Stitch will reduce tension on the anastomosis and can help reduce the potential for post-operative leaks.
